now, in washington, d.c., there's the first full deployment of salt and sand trucks, to be on the streets by 4:00 a.m. >> erica, what is the latest? >> that's right around when the precipitation is to be arriving so good idea to jump the gun and get those salt trucks out before the worst of it arrives. let's take a look from our michael & son cam. 38 degrees currently with a dew point of 25. that's a critical number for us. the dew point is well below freezing, and if the remains there as the precipitation arrives we could see what's called evaporational cooling which means that the atmosphere will get cooler as a result of the falling precipitation. so we will have that snow and wintry mix approaching during the overnight hours. most of the snow will be in the morning hours on saturday and snow is expected north and west of the beltway. a mix and rain south and east of the beltway. but in the beltway itself, it looks like we could get an actual accumulation of snow. more on how much to expect in a minute. the precipitation ends on saturday afternoon. right now we're still above freezing
